US-based Reflect used this pitch deck to raise seed money from 500 Startups

ABOUT

Founded in 2016 by Jonathan TranPham, the US-based company Reflect operates an online mental health platform that connects clients with therapists. It uses a data-driven algorithm to recommend the right therapists to users.

One in four adults have a diagnosable mental health issue. However, 80% of them cannot find the right care, especially during Covid-19, TranPham has said in an interview. Thus, he launched Refect to make mental health care “more accessible,” noting that the company has facilitated as many as 40,000 therapy sessions.

The startup used this pitch deck to obtain seed funding.
